Oliver Stone's autobiographical account of life at the front in Vietnam deservedly swept the Oscars. It is particularly strong in portraying the tensions within the army social group between the brutal all-American rednecks and the more liberally inclined cynics. find out more...

CertificationU Our Rating

Sylvester Stallone stars in this low-budget film whose huge success, against all odds, mirrors its own theme. Despite a few clumsy early scenes, the climatic big fight is cathartic, manipulative Hollywood at its best. Won Best Picture at 1976 Academy Awards. find out more...

SPARTACUS (1960)

CertificationPG Our Rating

Huge epic, set during the heyday of Republican Rome, in all its ostentatious glory. The story details the purchase and selection of slaves, the harsh discipline and routine of the gladiators' school, the new comradeship balked by the realisation that a gladiator must kill or be killed. Then the film really comes into its own with the superbly staged revolt and escape, led by the slave who, with his unlikely army, holds the Roman army at bay for four years. Magnificent, masterful....a classic! find out more...
